3 signs of a stroke (infographic)

Surviving a stroke — and minimizing its effects — largely depends on how quickly treatment is delivered. According to
Dr. Ran Regev, an emergency medicine doctor at
Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, "Treatment of a stroke needs to begin within 45 minutes of arrival to the emergency room."

Unfortunately, many people fail to recognize when a stroke is happening. But by memorizing the word "FAST" —
Face drooping,
Arm weakness,
Speech difficulty and
Time to call 911 — you could change the outcome for someone experiencing this emergency.
